When men drove real trucks...

Diesels are for the weak.

Can you imagine the torque that steam engine develops?

[bmwrd0]

I don't know what the operating pressure for that is, but seeing him actually pass in traffic was eye opening to say the least.

Die of heat stroke in that thing.

I don't think anyone would fight him for the right of way!   

[J.A.F.E.]

Kind of gives the term rollin' coal a whole new meaning.

That is a seriously awesome truck.

Gauge shows 200psi with the redline marked at 250-260psi. 20mph is marked on the side of the cab. The steam trucks were definitely faster than traction engines.

That is seriously cool.  I was surprised at how often the fire had to be stoked.  Really shocked at how fast the cab filled up with smoke that one time.

[skfarmer]

Cool. I would love to see more on how it works. It almost looks like he was shifting something.

[DeadNutz]

I noticed how far ahead of the turn he started cranking on the wheel. I used to sometimes drive a 300" wheelbase Freightshaker pulling a flatbed that had no power steering. What a pain in the city and you would rise out of the seat pulling on the wheel.

[fatfillup]

Yeah, it sure looked like it took some effort to steer that thing

[skfarmer]

2 steer axles and no power. how heavy you think a boiler, a reservoir of water and and pile of coal are? 

[oldnslo]

I can hear it now.....Honey? Wash your hands before you go to bed tonight please.

[muddy]

I can feel that gear train whine in my bones lol

Is it sad I want one?

No. It would be sad if you didn't want one.
